LINDY HOP TANZWORKSHOP - Swingen in den Sonnenuntergang

In the organizer's words:

Summer is here! We want to lindy-hop into the sunset with upbeat, good-mood rhythms.

Lindy hopping to join in!

Once a month you can lindy hop to swing music by Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Robbie Williams, Lady Gaga, Zaz and many others.

At 6 p.m., there will be a free taster course where you can learn the first basic steps and some figures and then jump straight into the fray. Anyone can take part in the taster course! You don't need any dance experience or a dance partner. The couples change during the class.

The roots of this Afro-American dance lie in the Charleston, tap dance and traditional West African dances and there is plenty of room for interpretation and improvisation.

It spread in the large ballrooms in Harlem NY. Since the 1980s, the forerunner of jive, boogie-woogie and rock'n roll has been experiencing a revival. Why? Because this dynamic and creative dance is incredibly fun.

For dancers and spectators there is comfortable furniture, toilets and drinks at the bar on the city beach.

As always, participation is free for everyone!
